GOSPEL READING: LUKE 1:1-4; 4:14-21
“Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”
————————————
Jesus applied the text, which he read, to himself. The Jews believed that scripture was the word of God. It was the revealed word of God and not secret. These particular words were revealed by Prophet Isaiah. These were not the words of the past (without having any relevance for the present). God’s words are eternal and they have their message for everyone at anytime of history. Word of God was fulfilled and is fulfilled and will be fulfilled.
These words were fulfilled in Jesus’ entry into public ministry. They were fulfilled in his activities of the kingdom of God. His activities were preaching liberty to the captives; giving sight to the blind; healing to the sick; and all the blessings. Jesus fulfilled the word of God in his life and in his ministry. Every disciple should try to be so.
நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: லூக்கா 1:1-4@ 4:14-21
‘நீங்கள் கேட்ட இந்த மறைநூல் வாக்கு இன்று நிறைவேறிற்று”
————————————–
மறைநூல் வாக்கு இயேசுவின் வாழ்விலும் பணியிலும் நிறைவேறியது. இயேசுவும் இறைவார்த்தையை தனதாக்கிக் கொண்டார். இறைவார்த்தையை இயேசு தனது வாழ்வுக்கும் பணிக்கும் பொருத்திக் (பொருத்தமாக்கி) கொண்டார். ஆகவேதான் இறைவார்த்தையானது நிலையானது. அது எல்லாருக்கும் எப்போதும் எங்கும் பொருந்தும், பொருந்த வேண்டும்
